When I Didn’t Need My Husband, & He Didn’t Need Me What is this thing called love? From the first kiss to the “I do’s,” and the late-night feedings, big fights, great makeups, and checking account mishaps, marriage and lovey-dovey don’t always co-exist. I have said it before, I will say it again, there is nothing “cool” about man bashing. Ick. I love my husband. He is my family. And, he is my best friend. He mystifies, irritates, and delights …

I guess it would be ideal, and perhaps make me more “readable,” to tell you all the things that are perfect about my marriage. But I try not to lie. It seems to me in the ways of “good” marriages and “bad” marriages, good is perfect, sweet, and easy. Bad means, well, you don’t talk about bad.

They appear to have no struggles – not financial, not with their children, their waistlines, their tan lines, or their social lives. No struggles. They …

Oh marriage, you and your nonsense, romance, and folly. My husband, Justin and I are coming up on our 25th wedding anniversary. He was 22 when we met.

Gnawing off your foot to save yourself is sometimes the answer, I guess. If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can’t do it, whose marriage is safe? They have a nanny! And we good Christian girls should have perfect marriages, tiny waists, and never… ever say the D-word. Divorce. Ha. I said it. And no, I am not getting one… nor have I ever had one. Before I got married, I was given three pieces of advice: Submit. Never go to …
